Browar Stu Mostów is the leader in terms of international collaborations in Poland. In 2016 we completed 6 collaboration projects. The outcome of the most recent cooperation with Jopen will be presented soon. The report includes 5 completed collaboration projects. Here is the gist:
ART#5 Imperial Apricot IPA, January 2016.
We were the first brewery in Poland to cooperate with the American brewery Pizza Boy Brewing from Pennsylvania, the winners of the silver medal at World Beer Cup 2014 in the experimental beer category. We have chosen a legendary style and added apricots.

Hallertauer IPL Collab. Our first collaboration project outside WRCLW. We brewed invited by Camba Bavaria. The foundation is the Heller Bock beer style. Usually it is not hopped much but with traditional Bavarian hops. We have added quite a lot of new wave hops from the Hallertau region– Huell Melon and Blanc.
